Blake Shelton Admits He and Gwen Stefani “Couldn’t Be Any More Different”

These two are putting the theory to the test.

Blake Shelton and
Gwen Stefani might be the celebrity
couple that nobody expected, but these two are definitely proving that
sometimes, opposites really do attract.

During an interview with Today’s
Savannah Guthrie on Thursday, the country singer, who's about to drop a new
album titled If I’m Honest, got
adorably candid about his main lady, saying, “We could not be — on paper — any
more different,” Shelton said when asked about his relationship with his fellow Voice co-host. “I’m a country singer, and she’s a rock, ska, pop, whatever
it is. It’s just an odd idea.”

Well, maybe not that odd, Blake.
According to Psychology Today,
differences that often seem problematic can, “actually
be the very things that add spice and passion to your relationship.” For
example, introverts and extroverts; morning and night people; impulsives and
planners; while seemingly opposite, all share complementary tendencies that
create a very important aspect of a relationship: chemistry.

"The
brain loves the novelty of something different," said
Jill
Hanson, a marriage and family
therapist, according to the Hartford Courant. “The differences provide that
interest, excitement, new learning. But you have to have some similarities — a
shared values base — that is the glue that keeps you together."
